Step 1: get a bell Step 2: don’t bike on the sidewalk
1. K.
2. But what if it’s a busy street without bike lanes and I don’t want to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie? T_T
how about … let’s not get bells and we’ll stay off the sidewalk
if i do have to ride on the sidewalk for unforseen circumstances i will announce “on your left” or “on your right” politely move in the...

to keep reblogging, has anyone else read this whole artice? i agree with a great deal, but a lot of it is biased and kind of outsiderish. i’d be curious to see what other people think...

“Hello, Mr. Shhhamaiete?”
It’s Schmidt, s-c-h-m-i-d-t. Not s-h-m-e-i-t-e like somebody decided to write on my bill. Is this Optimum?
“Oh, I am terribly sorry. Yes, yes it is.”
Good afternoon.
“Thank you, I am calling about your internet service.”
I already have internet.
“I mean, cable television service”
I don’t own a TV.
“Excuse me?”
I don’t own one.

As I stated last weekend, I had the privilege of seeing 4 ridiculously talented women play at a little record store in Ithaca that we like to call, No Radio Records. It’s quite quaint, and had a nice futon I shared with a man and his wife. The man was wearing running shorts and a tanktop and smelled like body odor. I had been quite excited about this show for awhile, being a fan of...

brooks b-72?
i have the chance to trade seats with a friend. i would give him the vetta on my benotto or the stock avocet on the lotus… good trade? justin? the b-72 doesn’t look all that glamorous since it’s not a 17 but it’s a brooks for free.. i figure it can’t be that bad of a deal. the only thing i’m worried about is what sheldon brown mentions on his site about the...

… i like to think that there’s still something to fall in love with here, the same somethings that prior creative american minds have all written about and photographed and experienced. i like to think that new jersey has some sort of potential… drowned[ ]by greedy fucks building castle on top of castle here in affluent suburbia.

Not too long ago, I said I had enough bikes...
ronisolomondds:
Well I just came across a little sometin’ sometin’ that may force me to build another.
snky snky.
I feel like something will have to give soon. Either I stop building bikes, or I start selling them.
At this point, all I really want to do is to save enough money so that I may start a classic and vintage bike shop. And I don’t mean “vintage” like “omg it is cool because it is...

We, as a species, should not continue to exist. I can’t see any good coming from it.

so last night, as i continued my cultural tour of rochester, i left muthers drag show with my girlfriend. muthers is on union, and union is a one way. so we look for the lext cross street to get back top alexander and take it. while riding down alexander i feel a sharp pain on my shoulder. it felt like i got hit with a paintball gun. i was feeling for residue, and found none. so i stop riding and...
so my bikes are the hardest things to precisely date, given the lack of information i can find. i’m guessing my super touring motobecane is a 77, while the benotto is somewhere between 84-88. the motobecane has vitus tubing, which seems okay, and i’m almost postive the worn off logo on the benotto is a columbus. it would make since because it’s so light. i like to compare it to...

follow me now ladies and gentleman, if you will, on a journey. a journey as wide as it is far. a journey filled with action, romance, blood, sweat and tears. a journey only one person can make, and that person is you, my dear reader. follow me on a meandering path through the united states and oddly enough sweden. first a stop is due in the most tropical L.A. while we then move up the coast to a...
